Implementing an SNMP Proxy

最近因为项目需要，学习jdmk，发现sun提供的例子基本全是english，所以就翻译一篇（顺便提高一下自己）
It is easier to manage a large number of SNMP agents when they have a hierarchical structure of master agents and sub-agents. Master agents concentrate and relay the information in their sub-agents and can provide their own specific information as well. Managers only communicate with the master agents and access the sub-agents transparently, as if the information actually resided in the master agent.

如果采用主agent和子agent的层级结构，就很容易管理大量的snmp agent，主agent集中并传递子agent需要的信息，管理站仅仅跟主agent通讯，由主agent再跟具体的子agent交互，就好像信息是存在于主agent中一样。
In order to do this, agents must contain an SNMP proxy for each sub-agent that they manage. The proxy is a Java class that looks like a MIB MBean to the agent, but which actually accesses the sub-agent to provide the information that is requested of it. In order to access sub-agents, the proxy object relies on the SNMP manager API.

为了达到这一点，agents必须包含（对每一个子agent）snmp代理。代理对于agent来说就像mib bean一样，也是一个java类，但实际上是可提供请求，并访问子agent，为了访问子agent，代理需要使用snmp管理站所使用的api（其实代理注册在主agent中，其能够访问子agent，对于子agent，代理就相当于manager）
